my dream as a fanfic writer is to write a story which people want to talk to me about and send asks about afterwards and discuss things the characters did and the symbolism and meanings behind certain lines and I'll be all "hehe thanks" but irl I'll be in literal tears because I wrote something that means something to someone

Fic writer interview
Thank you @takingoffmyshoes for tagging me in the thing!
How many works do you have on AO3?
51 (putting additional text in this line because if I don't tumblr makes the font truly enormous)
What's your total AO3 word count?
283,783
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
don't make me spell it out (TMFU. Aka The Pegging Fic)
poco a poco (Rogue One. Aka The Music Student AU)
a million different reasons (TMFU. Aka the one where Napoleon's self-loathing and Gaby's inability to identify or ask for what she wants delay a threesome for an inordinate amount of time)
breathe (Gotham TV. Aka that one Gotham fic I ever wrote)
least the rose alive must three (TMFU. Aka the soulmate AU)
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try. If I'm going through a tough moment they often get unanswered, but I generally answer otherwise. Unless it's someone asking me to write more.
What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?
Based on the number of times the word "bittersweet" is used in the comments section and the crying emojis, likely don't talk just hold me closer (Star Trek: Discovery). Its sister fic nor made me feel so sweet is also a bit of a downer™
What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?
I don't tend towards *unhappy *endings in my substantial works, but Dirty Talk (TMFU) is unrepentantly sappy so that I suppose
Do you write crossovers?
I don't believe I ever have
Have you ever received hate on a fic?
I'm not sure I'd call it outright "hate", but have received multiple comments on a million different reasons upset at me because I guess Napoleon being an unreliable narrator is not obvious enough for everyone.
Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Every now and then. And, statistically, the threesome/moresome kind.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Even if I had I have no clue how I'd know.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
I don't think so. I have translated a few of my own and others' fics as French practice.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nay.
What's your all-time favorite ship?
Hmm I'm not sure I have an OTP to Rule Them All. The TMFU ot3 seems an obvious answer. That said, I am a chronic multi-shipper within fandoms so I rarely even have an OTP within a fandom. This may not be obvious in my writing but it is my reading habit if nothing else.
What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?
Before anyone says "so give me a line and take me home", it's getting finished. Just not quickly. Stop telling people I'm it's dead
In terms of genuine "yeah I'm probably not gonna finish that", birthright, my Rogue One Pacific Rim fusion.
What are your writing strengths?
I would say writing nuanced/ambiguous/fucked up little guy characters? None of my favourites are free from sin, if you feel me, and I like to explore those sins.
Also @takingoffmyshoes tells me they want to write Gaby/Napoleon the way I write Gaby/Napoleon so that, apparently :D
What are your writing weaknesses?
Structuring conflict and resolution. I often find myself resolving conflicts too quickly/easily in longer fics.
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
Entirely dependent on the context. I've done it multiple times, in multiple languages, some instances more successfully (imho) than others. For me, the most seamless way to integrate it and have the audience understand is via framing things in the POV character's thoughts (assuming they understand what's being said).
What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Doctor Who. Somewhere in the presumably purged depths of LJ there was an 11/Rose fic I wrote.
What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?
Too damn many. If I had to pic one, Widows (2018), a film which left me clinically feral in the best way, has a woeful lack of fic (or people who've watched it in general. Go watch Widows. It rocks. It will fuck you up and devastate you emotionally. It's got muscly Viola Davis in a tank top. Range.)
ETA oh and Lower Decks. Because the world will be forced to endure the result of my "Mariner and Ransom have been fucking since season one and neither of them acknowledges it and both of them kinda loathe themselves for it but the sex is so goddamn hot that it keeps happening" conspiracy theory slant on watching the show.
What's your favorite fic you've written?
I'm going to completely sideline the bigger/more popular fics of mine (such that my limited popularity is). They're fine. I like them. "so give me a line" makes me want to eat plaster (Affectionate) every time I return to it. Choosing trompe-l'oreille (Atomic Blonde) because it fucks severely. By which I mean it is both emotionally and literally haunting. That is a form of fucking, right?

A couple of vintage Canadian politics moments:
1997: PM Jean Chrétien puts a guy in a chokehold on national TV, forcing him to the ground and breaking one of his teeth. When asked afterwards, Chrétien, originally from Shawinigan, QC, jokingly described this as giving the guy the "Shawinigan handshake". In Parliament he was on occasion called "the Shawinigan strangler". The next year he was re-elected to a majority government.
2000: the Alliance Party, led by known buffoon Stockwell Day, proposes a referendum process, that would allow a national vote on any issue if three per cent of the electorate, or about 350,000 people, sign a petition. A political comedy show begins to circulate a petition to force Stockwell Day to change his name to Doris Day. It received in excess of 1,200,000 online votes. Day has not yet changed his name despite the overwhelming public support. Here is a picture of him doing his best attempt at being cool by riding a jet ski to a press conference

Title: In which Elton John may or may not have raccoons living in his ceiling tiles
Author: canardroublard
Reader: blackglass
Cover Artist: Tipsy_Kitty
Rating: G
Fandom: The Good Place
Pairings: Eleanor/Tahani
Summary: Eleanor was trying to manage the whole "soulmate" thing. But Michael had made it clear that soulmates could be platonic or romantic, but vanished before Eleanor could ask him which option she was stuck with. Leaving her to live with this gorgeous giraffe-lady who smelled amazing but never seemed to know how to react to her flirting.
The whole thing felt like torture
